The chef
Meet Chef Josh
A Red Seal chef who went looking for the best kitchens he could find, then brought that food home to Alberta.
I bring the restaurant. You keep the evening.
Josh Bauman trained at NAIT in Edmonton and earned his Red Seal as a Journeyman chef. That could have been the end of the story, a good cook in a good city. Instead he went looking for the best kitchens he could find.
He cooked in Michelin-starred kitchens in England, where the standard is measured in fractions of a millimetre and nothing leaves the pass unless it is right. He spent time in restaurants across Italy and Paris, learning the sauces, the pasta, the pastry, and the quiet discipline behind food most people only ever see on a tasting menu.
Then he brought all of it home. Now Chef Josh cooks that food where it feels most personal: in your dining room, for the people who matter to you. Every menu is written for the table in front of him. Nothing off a template, and nothing he would not send out of a Michelin pass.
